Usage Decision for an insp. lot

dear all
i want to make UD for an insp. lot of insp. type 06(return delivery).when i made ud it did not ask me for posting of that material.there is no insp. lot stock tab.can anybody help me to resolve this issue.

hi
inspection type 06 is non stock relevant ,hence you cannot able to post the material .
Processing materials as non-stock-relevant goods
If a material is not stock relevant, the system does not valuate and track the quantity of goods in an inspection lot. All inspection lots with the following inspection lot origins are not stock relevant:
·        02 - Goods issue
·        03 - Production
·        06 - Return from customer
·        07 - Audit
·        10 - Delivery to customer with sales order
·        11 - Delivery to customer without sales order
·        12 - Delivery (general)
·        13 - Production inspection on basis of run schedule header
·        14 - Plant maintenance
·        17 Externally triggered inspection
Posting stock-relevant materials to inspection stock
In inspection stock, QM has exclusive control over the material stock. This means that the material can only be posted in and out of inspection stock via the inspection lot. Materials can be posted to inspection stock for the following inspection lot origins:
·        01 - Goods receipt
·        04 - Goods receipt from production
·        05 - Miscellaneous goods receipt
·        08 - Stock transfer
·        09 - Recurring inspection

QA40 making usage decision for 03 lots with rejected MIC also

Hi Friends ,
QA40 is making Usage decision for 03 type lots having defects also and also for the lost having rejected MICs . can anybody explain why its so because SAP help has mentioned that for automatic UD there should be no rejected MIC .
Regards

What you are thinking about is QA10, not QA40.
QA40's criteria for making the UD is based upon the order status. I.e. the three radio buttons in the screen, orders completed, technically complete and confirmed.
The idea is once one of these statuses is reached, you wouldn't have any more testing. Also, it is not unusual to have out of spec results during in-process testing. In many industries that would be the norm, not the exception as often times a step in the process has a test repeatedly perform until a certain result is achieved. % water or % solids for instance.
03 lots also do not control stock. So it's not as critical that tests be in spec at this point to perform the UD.

No Automatic Transfer order creation upon usage decision for 553 mtype

Scenario: We have quality and warehouse management active. Goods receipt is done against a purchase order. Stock comes into 902 storage type under stock category u201CQu201D. From 902 storage type, Goods issue to scrapping under quality( using IM movement type 553 ) is done using QA11. Normally, once GI to scrap under quality is done at IM level, WM movement type 551 gets triggered automatically in the background which creates a transfer order to move stock from 902 to 999 storage type under u201CQu201D stock category.
Problem: System unable to find storage bin for storage type 902 Q.
In our system, automatic TO creation from TR isnu2019t happening once the usage decision for 553 movement type happens. The TO creation process couldnu2019t recognize the stock which is available as u201CQu201D. It throws an error message u201Csource storage bin could not be foundu201D at the time of TO creation from TR. Putaway strategy for the physical storage types is FIXED BIN, MIXED STOCK ALLOWED and ADDITION TO EXISTING STOCK. 902 storage type has ADDITION TO EXISITNG STOCK and MIXED STOCK as a putaway strategy.
We have already activated auto TO creation settings at WM-IM reference movement types interface configuration.
Is there any setting missing at QM-WM interface?
Can someone please tell us a methodology to activate this transfer order creation process (WM mtype 551) for 553 IM mtype ?
Thanks in advance. Please reply.

Hello,
I do not understand your scenario , u are saying are posting inspection lot to non WM storage location and again saying system can not find bin automatically.
"A transfer requirement (movement type 311 / destination u201C921 Transferu201D) is created after the inspection lot posting (QA11) but the auto-creation functionality is not possible since the u201CSystem cannot find source storage binu201D.
How can this auto-creation of a transfer order be realized since it is possible to create the transfer order manually via LB11 (entering source u201C902u201D / storage bin u201CPurchase Order no.u201D)?
The system cannot find the storage bin automatically.
Thank you in advance!"
Please let me know are u using quality interim storage area. If you clear material from quality and want material to go to bin then it should be warehouse managed storage location.

Changing posting date at usage decision for handle units. How?

Does anybody know how to change posting date at usage decision for handle units (HU)?
If the material is not managed by HU, SAP allows this modification (there's a button with a hat on it referring the material document header).
For HU I cannot seem to change posting date!
Seba

Yes it's possible! Well,...unless for versions 4.6C, 4.7 and ECC 5.
I've found SAP Note #752131 by which SAP declares that you can create the pushbutton from the Screen Painter referring the document header.
That's all,.....so simple, and it works fine!
This note applies ONLY to version 4.6C, 4.7and ECC 5 (which is the version the customer I am with has installed).
Thanks anyway.

Individual qm order for each insp lot

Hi, i want system to generate individual qm order for each insp lot generated. please advise what are the steps involved here. thank you.

Dear Raju
Please follow the steps
1) Maintain tick for individual QM order in Material master in QM view
2) SPRO > QM > Quality inspection > Inspection lot creation > Maintain inspection type > order type as QL02
when the inspection lot is created QM order will be created and you can post the cost
But make sure that the inspection lot has an account assignment (cost center specified in the purchase order )

Reversal of Usage Decision for insp type 10 lot

Dear Friends,
I am using the inspection type 10 for the inspection during despatch.
Please explain the process of reversing the usage decision specifically for a lot of insp type 10.
Regards,
Avinash

If the UD was already made, why do you have to cancel the UD?
You can change a UD via QA12.
You can cancel the delivery document.
Since inspection type 10's don't control stock, (they can block the PGI on the delivery), I wouldn't see any need to actually cancel the inspection lot once a UD was made.

I'm sorry, I am not sure if I understand any more now, but one quick check: When you write RULE, are you specifically meaning RESPONSIBILITY RULE?
I said that a rule is needed to specify work item agents (workflow step specification of selected agents). It is not quite true, you can specify the selected agents in other ways such as using expressions etc. You could therefore create a subtype of your business object where you define virtual attributes for the different agents you mentioned, i.e. a virtual attribute AG_MARKETING_MANAGER, another one called AG_LOGISTICS_MANAGER, a third one called AG_QC_MANAGER, and finally one called AG_PRODUCTION_MANAGER. These should have the data type TSWHACTOR.
However, you are asking for a method that does not involve rules, AND does not involve ABAP coding. I think you are out of luck there, because the virtual attributes will require (some) ABAP coding, and of course this approach is of more interest if these managers can be determined based on data that are maintained anyway - to save you the addition maintenance of the responsibility matrix in the workflow (responsibility) rule.
You can obtain exactly the same by creating a workflow rule that takes whatever parameters are relevant, plus the Usage Decision.
If you want to send a single step/mail to all the managers (I couldn't quite understand if you wanted a single step to a varying number of managers or a varying number of steps) the latter solution would be the best one, as the rule would give you the correct list of managers without any additional steps in the workflow.
If you create virtual attributes you can use container operations in the workflow to put all the relevant managers into one multiline container element. But that seems rather awkward compared to creating a workflow rule.

How to do single usage decession for multiple inspection lots

we are clearing Usage decision each & every lot for which taking lot of time, if any setting for a GR Document number/Multi GR document nos connected lots to be cleared at a time automitically,

Hi,
In addition to Anupam's reply,
Follow the SPRO path for Auto UD---> Select your plant for AUTO UD settings -
> then go to InspLot completion tab where you need to define following time fields under Automatic Usage Decision tab page :
Delay time for skip lot (in Mins)
Waiting time (hrs) & Waiting time (Mins).
Waiting time is the time which must elapse after inspection lot creation after that only system will carry out automatic usage decision.
Save above settings.
Further as a master data part, you need to maintain tick in Automatic UD check box for the respective material for which you want activate automatic UD.
Hope this clears your doubt.
Revert if still any query.

Tejas

Error during usage decision for Test Equipment

Hi,
I have completed results recording for Test Equipment using QE51N (results closed and confirmation completed). When I tried to make usage decision (QA11) for the lot the pop-up message shows as "Not all equipment is valuated! Do you want to force inspection completion. I also noticed that in equipment tab of qa11 code valuation column shows as Not Valuated.
I request you to help me to solve this problem.
Thanks & Regards
V.Devaraj

HI,
You may try changing the valuation mode in IA06. In the inspection characteristic overivew, click on details -> operation, scroll down, you will find Quality management inspection points -> maintain automatic valuation based on inspection points.
The changes if made will be effective only for the next inspeciton lots.

Usage decision for movment type 323

Hello
Can anyone tell me how I can post movment type 323 through QA11 with a usage decision?
I can see in config Quality Management>Quality Inspection>Inspection Lot Completion>Define Inventory Postings that there is a posting UD TRANSFER02 that uses 323 but I cannot see how this is posted through transaction QA11!
Thanks
Sue

hello,
Can you do this. in the config path Quality Management>Quality Inspection>Inspection Lot Completion>Define Inventory Postings , create a new entry with 08 suffix. Assign mvt type 323 to it.
In my system it comes with a description "other qty posting". Save it. now this new entry will show up in qa 11 in the inspection lot stock tab where you could post the quantity with this entry to trigger 323 mvt type.
Now go OMJJ and check for mvt 323 whether QA11 is in the allowed transactions , if not add it there/. ( Caution: 323 isnt meant to work with QA11)
now run qa11, it works fine.
But my question is if you arent accepting , rejecting or doing a sample, or other functions described for QA 11 UD , then you can just do a MB1B 323 and this should serve your purpose, why do this though QA11.
Hope this helps
Thanks,

Usage decision of Inprocess Inspection lot as per batch

Dear,
i am doing result recording to inspection point with partial lot and with batch,
i have some charactristics which is to be transfer to the batches for that i have to do separate Usage decision with every batches
Is it possible??
note i have used 120 inspection point.( with shift wise) and partial lot with batches..
Regards
Pravin

You can mkae a UD for the lot, but not by batch.
The characteristic data should be transferred to the batch after the valuation of each inspection point however. So your results should already be copied over long before you make the UD.

Rejection in Usage Decision of an inspection Lot

Dear Masters,
I want to know that is there any standard method to trigger the notification for rejection of an inspection lot?
Please do explain. Thanks in advance.
Chin2

Dear Pushpa,
Once again thanks for your reply. In the case mentioned above I can only define one notification type, what if I have more than one notification type to be used on rejection in usage decision? I will explain my scenario as below:
I have 3 different quality notification types i.e, 1) Engineering Calibration notification (For Engineering Equipments)
2) Quality Calibration Notification (For Quality Equipments)
3) Fleet & Trade Calibration Notification (For Fleet & Trade Equipments)
Now, I have 3 different types of orders from which the inspection lot will be created and for those 3 different types of orders I want 3 different types of notifications to be generated on rejection of the inspection lot.
Please do guide if there is any standard method to achieve this
Thanks once again.

Error while doing the Usage Decision in transaction QA32

Hello Friends,
While doing the goods receipt for customer returns from customer, system generated a inspection lot with inspection type 06.
So in QA32 transaction, system is showing that inspection lot, but in same screen, against the column InspPlan: Material, system is not showing any entry.
Later on after analysis, i found that no inspection plan was assinged to the material, Plant for which that inspection lot was created. When i checked that inpection lot in transaction QA03, in Insp. Specifications tab, agaisnt the Assigned Specification section, system was not showing any entry in fields Group, Group Counter, Plant, Usage.
And against that inspection lot,status CRTD, PREQ, CHCR are active.
Because of which, when user is trying to do the UD against this lot system throwing the error message as Status check error.
When i checked again i found that status CRTD is throwing the error message.
Hence friend, i want to do the Usage decision for that inspection lot than how to do?
Now user has assigned the material, plant to the inspection plan in QP02.
Should i go to QA02 transaction, and in Insp. Specification tab, for fields group, group counter, usage, Plant, maintain the values?
Will this allow me to do the usage decision against the inspection lot which got generated when no inspection plan was assingned to that material, plant?
Waiting for your valuable inputs.

For Result Recording and Ud the inspection lot status must be REL as u told ur status is CRTD it Mean Some master
is missing in inspection lot,generally inspection plan for that u run QA02 enter inspection lot no go to specification tab
there a button assigned specification there click on that as u click on button u will find that plan for above material copied to lot and it will show u plan detail line group and group counter no.
then go to next screen Sample if sample management is active and click on sample then system will calculate sample size then save ur lot. it would get Status As REL now ui can enter result or take UD
for QM setting Refer

USAGE Decision required before stock posting

Hi QM Gurus!
How do i configure the system so that it will require the user to ENTER A USAGE DECISION for a inspection lot first before he can make a posting in the INSPECTION LOT STOCK TAB in the same screen.
the requirement is that the user cannot make any postings from QM without making a usage decision.
I would appreciate any help.
Thank you,
Heinrick Palad

Hi,
The same can be acheived by creating a status profile with suitable object type (Insp. lot with or w/o plan or char.)using "BS02" & assign it to the Inspection type.
In the user status create an initial status say "INIT' & click on "Forbidden" against "Start inv. pstg bef. UsageDec". Create a second status say "UDAL' & click on "Set" against "Make usage decision".
This will surely solve your problem. Just test & revert.
Reward points if useful.
